Hard to believe that then end of Summer is already here. We had a great turnout for the July Monthly Meeting with over 55 members attending the annual Ice Cream Social. All manner of ice cream was served along with cakes and other assorted goodies.

We had three new members join our club at the July meeting. Please make the welcome when you meet them in the coming months.

No driving events are planned for August but the annual watermelon feast at this month's meeting is always a treat.

On Sunday August the 30th from 2-4pm we will be conducting car games for the AACA (Antique Auto Club of America's) 2015 Glidden Tour. This is a tour of pre war automobiles that has not been in Oklahoma City since 1915. If you can help with the games please contact Phil Wolfenbarger or myself and come and see some of the finest antique automobiles in America.

What is a "Beauty & the Beast Auction"? The "Beauty's" (ladies) and the "Beasts" (gentlemen) are asked to provide donations, either Model A parts, tools, unique items, deserts, etc. for the auction during our Monthly Club Meeting on September 18th.

An auctioneer will be present to assist in selling the donated items to be purchased by attendees. Checks will be accepted.

This is our primary fund raiser for the Sooner Model A Club! Great items will be available!

Our club chili chef, Bill Harris will be preparing and serving homemade chili (funded by the club) and the side dishes will be provided by the Sooner board members.

If you attended last months meeting you were lucky to hear and see Bob Bordwine give an excellent demonstration on Model A Steering. With a group as large as ours everyone has there own specific things that they are working on and concerned with about their cars.

One of our new members who lives in Woodward sent in this great testimony as to the value of sharing what this great group of Model A mechanics know.

Thanks to Rock Simmons for sharing his experiences and thanks again to Bob Bordwine for a great demonstration.__________________________________________________________________________Last months meeting that included steering tune up was extremely informative. After a few adjustments,a new ball on my steering arm, and proper spring adjustments on my pitman arm and drag links the personality of my sedan has changed. It's not scary anymore!

The width of the road is no longer a problem. The length .....that's another problem.

Amy Stephens will be presenting the History of the OKC Zoo during our monthly Club Meeting on Tuesday January 18th at 7:00 PM. She will focus her presentation around the 1930's, same as our Model A's. Please plan to attend!

The Beauty and the Beast Auction held during our recent club meeting on Tuesday September 21st was a huge success! All attendees were entertained by our highly skilled "live" auctioneer.

Thank you to all who attended, donated and purchased!

The August 2010 Tuesday evening club meeting was not only informative, it was cool! Ice Cream Cool! We had 49 members in attendance! After the general club meeting and announcements, Will Langford demonstrated our new Sooner Model A Club website, showing us how to become a site member, add photo's, video's and much more. Then we enjoyed many flavors of home made ice cream as well as pies, cakes, deserts, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and more. We all enjoyed every bite as well as the company of our fellow Sooner Model A members. DON'T FORGET ABOUT NEXT MONTHS MEETING. FREE CHILI AND SIDE DISHES. BRING YOUR APPETITE, BRING YOUR DONATIONS FOR THE CLUB FUND RAISING AUCTION AND BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK TO BUY GREAT ITEMS. See you there!
